Materials Data on K2CuAuF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

K2AuCuF6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent F1- atoms to form KF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent KF12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent KF12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AuF6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CuF6 octahedra. All K–F bond lengths are 3.02 Å. Au3+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form AuF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CuF6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KF12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Au–F bond lengths are 2.27 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form CuF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AuF6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KF12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Cu–F bond lengths are 2.01 Å. F1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+, one Au3+, and one Cu1+ atom.
